Question
I am 14.5 and I have a problem where I wake up in the night with a really urgent feeling of a full bladder and an erection. The erection won't go away until after I urinate, and then it goes away. Why is this and what should I do?
Answer
This is perfectly normal and there is nothing you can do, except be conscious of where you wake up and who is present. Here is a great list of books for boys: http://www.pamf.org/preteen/parents/resources.html#Books%20About%20Boys
